Make this Pink Pretty Poinsettia Christmas Card quicker and easier than you would think! Even though you will use quite a few dies for the flower and leaves (and the greeting), you can put all the dies for the poinsettia on one piece of paper, the leaves on another, and the little flower centers on a tiny scrap. So diecutting doesn’t take much time!
This card base is Petal Pink. Besides the actual poinsettia, the actual star of the card is the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper. It’s different than anything we have had. All the sheets have glittery stripes on white paper, but the glitter doesn’t rub off or anything! It’s great for a rather subtle background but with some sparkle.
Before adhering the Shimmering Stripes paper to the card base, I wrapped some ribbon around the side and across the bottom. I used the White with Gold 3/8″ Ribbon from the Spring Mini 2026 (retired). You can use whatever ribbon you have. The bow is tied separately and adhered with several glue dots.
To make the poinsettia in Petal Pink, just diecut the petals and stack them one on top of the other, using Mini Glue Dots or Liquid Glue to adhere them together. The tiny yellow centers are the actual flower, my research says. The leaves are Old Olive extras from diecutting for another card. Use the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle for stamping the greeting in Old Olive ink and diecutting the poinsettia. The greeting is stamped on a circle punched with my retired 2″ Circle Punch. I needed something small enough to fit in that space. I also added some Petal Pink dots. Mine are from the Muted Palette Dots from the Annual Catalog 2025-26.
Even though the poinsettia makes this look like a fancy card, I think you will find it pretty easy to make!
